If you are only interested in getting the highest storage capacity for the least amount of money, this price-per-GB chart should be the one to look at

Minor nitpick, but the chart is named "Price-per-TB".

These things are starting to blur the line between (portable) SSDs and USB sticks.

I find GB/price an easier to understand metric.

For a whole 15 sec :cry:

Not ideal, but you get to transfer 30GB within those 15 seconds. That's good enough for a lot of things.

Only if the the drive is empty
If the fast "cache" part is full it will do around ~650MB/s
And it most likely will be like that.
I know what I am saying, have this puppy with me:

And sadly most of my CFe cards can't utilize all of it's full potential (also USB 3.2 2x2 20 Gbps) more than 20s.
Maybe one day...

Just to point out in passing:

In the cons:

"Sustained write speed fairly low"

In the conclusion below:

"Sustained write speeds of the Rocket Nano v2 are very impressive, reaching almost 700 MB/s, which is an excellent result for a portable SSD."

Thanks for pointing this out. I meant to write about the small SLC cache, this is fixed now
